Analyzing and Correcting Instruction-Following Failures

A user provided the following prompt to a language model:

Prompt: 'Describe three key features of a modern smartphone. Present your answer as a numbered list. Each point must be a complete sentence and contain no more than 12 words. Do not mention the brand of any phone.'

Model's Response:

  1. High-resolution cameras for stunning photos.
  2. The iPhone has a powerful processor for fast performance.
  3. Long battery life and fast charging capabilities.

Identify one specific instruction from the prompt that the model failed to follow. Then, rewrite the corresponding part of the model's response to make it compliant with that instruction.
